FLUSHING, MI -- Discussion on a new Flushing city manager is expected during a city council meeting this week.

During the meeting, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, at Flushing City Hall, 725 E. Main St., the council will receive a report from the city's city manager search committee.

Flushing has been without a full-time manager since late summer, when City Manager Dennis Bow agreed to work 20 hours a week while the search was made for his replacement following his retirement announcement.

Bow was named Flushing city manager in 1996.

Bow's annual salary before he retired was about $83,000 and he was making $46.50 hourly while working part-time, with no benefits.

Keane said on Feb. 1 that he expected Bow's service to come to a conclusion sometime in the month of February.
